Windows 10: The STAR to ADD items to the FAVOURITES BAR keeps DISAPPEARING IN WINDOWS EDGE.

First you SEE IT then you DO NOT.


When I click on the WINDOWS EDGE ICON the screen closes and the STAR IS NOT VISIBLE.


If I select a new TAB in WINDOWS EDGE the star is still NOT VISIBLE


If I then click on the HOUSE the screen clears and goes to the new default website of GOOGLE and the STAR is VISIBLE


If I then click for a new TAB …. THE STAR HAS DISAPPEARED AGAIN AND THE SCREEN HAS REVERTED TO EDGE.


NB I have NOT got Internet EXPLORER ACTIVATED ON THIS LAPTOP - SO IT CANNOT BE THAT REVERTING TO IE...


What is going on?


IT IS A NIGHTMARE


Would some one who KNOWS what has CHANGED please advise please as there will be more folks out there who have the same problem.


It would also be USEFUL if those who have the problem did NOT add "I have this problem too" as this clogs up the response.



Thanks

Kind regards


STAR OFF

Favicons in Edge Favourites Bar...


Since the last update, all the favicons in my favourites bar have changed to a 5-point star.

If I hide, then show the favourites bar again via settings, the correct site favicons re-appear, but then revert to stars the next time I open Edge.

Any ideas, please?

 

Favourites bar icons in Microsoft Edge

I now have a favourites bar with ICONS very much like Chrome although a brief (one or two letter) name is needed. Hopefully the need for any name will be removed. To achieve this:-

1 - Enable FAVOURITES BAR in . . . More Actions - the three dots top right.

- Import your old favourites from Chrome - these appear as a Star Icon and a full web address - yuk

2 - Open HUB - the three horizontal lines top right

- Open the Favourites Bar by clicking the star option, Favourites and then Favourites Bar

3 - Click one of your Favourites to open it

- Now reopen the HUB and right click the link and Remove it

- By clicking the Star at the right hand end of the address bar you re-establish the Favourite with the correct Icon and the option to rename it to a single letter (not as good as a blank but Edge is fast so worth it?)

4 - You can re-arrange Icons by opening HUB and dragging the links up and down the list

Come on MS - let us have a Favourites Bar with just the Icons.

 

Favourites bar icons in Microsoft Edge

Hi,

Is there any way of displaying the icons of my favourites in the favourites bar a la Chrome where you can have just a list of tiles along the top that do not have names. At the moment Edge is still going the old clunky by not displaying the unique
icon of most of my favourites and also not allowing me to completely remove the name. I want to have a favourites bar with as many of my favourites along the top as possible, not loads of generic stars with descriptions.

Such a shame as I think Edge seems really fast but it seems to have completely ignored basic user-friendly things that makes things easier but I'll be sticking to Chrome for the time being until they sort this out.
